lyrics
I've got a shovel
I've been breaking my back.
It seems the further I dig down the more I stay on track.
It's like I always know the right thing to do.
It's rarely how I act.
I'm stuck on the chain and I know:
I'm not nowhere near but, I'm one step closer.
You might know where I've been, but I know where I'm going.
I'll do one more good deed every day as long as I'm livin'
Life's a garden baby, I'm just out here diggin'.
If you'll listen why don't you just stop and look around?
Get off that sandstone. Set your down here on solid ground.
Come stand beside me. Love yourself with all you have.
Once you do I know you'll see your love light shining down.
(Chorus)
As I step out on this limb in the world where we been livin', if we quit complaining we might notice all we're given.
(Chorus)
I'm not nowhere near but, I'm one step closer.
You might know where I've been, but I know where I'm going.
I'll do one more good deed every day as long as I'm livin'
Life's a garden baby, I'm just out here diggin'.
